Flood Insurance Information

Protect Your Property From Costly Water Damage

Unless you live near a creek, river, or lake, you probably haven’t considered purchasing flood insurance for your home or business. Sometimes it just rains in Texas for days or we have a hurricane come in and sit like Harvey did in 2017 causing historic rain. Many people are finding out the hard way that they should have had flood insurance.

It happens more often than you think. If your home or business is located in a high risk area, you have a one in four chance of flood during the life of a 30 year mortgage. That is greater odds than having damage from a fire! So why leave yourself open to the risk of a flood with no insurance?

Some common misconceptions about floods and flood insurance cause people to make decisions that could dramatically change their lifestyle if a flood was to hit their house or business.

"Fire is my number one fear and I don’t think my property will ever flood." That thought process is understandable but the number one cause of natural disasters in the USA is flooding!

"A little water couldn’t result in that much damage."

It doesn’t take a foot of water to ruin property and goods. Consider a 1,000-square foot house and the damage that could result from one inch of water:

Cleaning $850

Doors, Base Trim & Windows $450

Electrical & Plumbing $150
